Nothing beats the authentic, hand-carved difference.
At Southtown, we take our gyros seriously. The blend of savory beef and tender lamb is flame-broiled to perfection on the rotisserie and shaved fresh to orderācrispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with traditional spices.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or satisfying a late-night craving, get it stacked high on a warm pita with fresh tomatoes, onions, and our signature tzatziki made with 100% real yogurt, fresh cucumbers, and house seasonings.

What Makes the PUMPKIN KING Flizzard Stand Out
House-Made Spiced Crust: Freshly crushing and spicing your own graham cracker crust delivers a distinct buttery crunch that stays crisp rather than getting soggy in soft serve.
Textural Contrast: Adding pecans gives a toasted, nutty crunch that balances the smooth, rich pumpkin pie filling.
Flavor Layering: Caramel brings out the warm notes in the pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) without overpowering the real pumpkin flavor.
